U.S.-Australia Cooperative Researh: Turgor Regulation in the Alga Ventricaria

0210946 Bisson该奖项支持纽约州立大学布法罗分校的Mary Bisson教授与澳大利亚新南威尔士大学的Mary Beilby和Norman Walker教授之间的合作研究项目。渗透调节方面的研究主要集中在渗透胁迫过程中钾离子通量的测定，以及光、抑制剂和离子浓度变化对钾离子通量的影响。Bisson博士在使用膨压探头和文氏菌培养方面的专业知识将与她的澳大利亚同事在使用离子选择电极来确定钾离子通量和数学分析电流-电压曲线方面的经验相辅相成。这项研究将提供关于典型海藻膜电位产生和控制的基线信息，增强我们对海藻的总体知识，并为海洋养殖系统提供有价值的信息。此外，该项目还将加强美国和澳大利亚实验室之间的合作。

0210946BissonThis award supports a collaborative research project between Professor Mary Bisson of SUNY-Buffalo and Professors Mary Beilby and Norman Walker of the University of New South Wales, Australia. Research on osmotic regulation in the marine alga Venticaria will focus on measuring potassium ion fluxes during osmotic stress, and on the effect of light, inhibitors and changing ion concentrations on flux rates. Dr. Bisson's expertise in working with turgor probes and with cultures of Ventricaria will be complemented by the experience of her Australian colleagues in the use of ion-selective electrodes to determine potassium ion fluxes and in the mathematical analysis of current-voltage curves.This study will provide baseline information about the generation and control of membrane potential in a typical marine algae, enhancing our knowledge of marine algae in general and providing valuable information for mariculture systems. In addition, the project will strengthen the collaboration between the U.S. and Australian laboratories.
